WAR Dex and Parry testing!

[Maelwys]

Serious question. Why does everyone point to old data for a PLD's numbers when referring to WAR?

Because everybody's assuming that Parry Mitigation follows the same progression across classes, and nobody's yet done a similarly-exhaustive test for it since the last patch? (Or at least nobody has published results that have been widely noticed...)

They might be slightly "wrong" numbers, but they're the closest thing we currently have available to "right" numbers.

Valk currently has a note on the Homepage to the effect that the stat tables for WAR and PLD have changed slightly since Phase 3, which has likely had a slight knockon impact on the base and threshold STR values. I don't have a level 50 WAR, but if you want to do a fresh test of the STR thresholds, feel free

I have actually thought about it, but don't know how to be 100% honest. I think out of the box, just don't know how to get there. That and I crunch numbers at work and I promised myself that I would not go crazy in FFXIV and burn myself out. I really just want to enjoy the game and help my FC get it way into endgame on their own terms. Progression guilds, pass. for now at least. I have already respecced with 25 DEX and 5 VIT, and it seemed to have a noticeable difference with parry rates VS. HM Ifrit. But without numbers, I hardly call it evidence.
